Wings and Dice the Way of Life

If only they new that they would die they reach for their stars instead of him and he would look down upon them. Making one cry, making one sigh thinking why oh why did he do this to me? letting one fall and breaking apart, not knowing they did it to themselves. Oh why did they do this painting with a brush over the sky never looking up to say who did that, or why? Foolish thoughts ones say Making it seem wrong in their youthful days Thinking what's wrong? Whats right? Is it a dream or just another light? Does it make sense? They say why do this and not do that when at the same time they turn their backs. Is it confusing sometimes? Or is it just those who cant find the time? Making them sigh again wondering what better to give when not wanting to cry when they know it shows fear in ones eyes. Keeping it in until one day they let it all go like a river that goes, and flows, and flows. If only they new that they could live changing their lives just a little bit. Reaching for their minds instead of their hearts. Foolish desires ones say, true says another When they themselves cant help oneself. lieing in their own faces thinking they know it all when they cant realize they don't because they're stupid and blind of their own foolish thoughts and desires. But men sitting on ice they say what a wonderful thing they say but i say icicles slicing their stubborn lips, and thorns with poison burning their tongues with dew drops behind the sun. Sounding like pebbles splashing in water were nobody knows, were nobody goes because its unseen to ones naked eyes only the pure of heart can see it. were lemon drops grow sweeter then life making sugar taste bitter and cold. The rusty old car sitting in vines were ones used to look and say wow look i wish that were mine, but know undefined. Ones weakness ones fame ones gray head of wisdom like the snow on the mountains peek looking over our shoulders saying take these wings and dice and fly. By: Alicia Campos
